Background: Healthcare professionals are in the forefront of the COVID-19 pandemic facing an unprecedented global health crisis, which can have consequences on their psychosocial health. There is a need to identify risk factors for poor psychosocial outcomes to inform the design of tailored psychological interventions.
Background: Evidence of missed nursing care in clinical practice has been well documented; however, fewer studies highlighting why care is missed have been conducted and this prevents effective interventions aimed at minimizing the missed care.
Methods: A secondary analysis of two cross-sectional study designs was performed to capture the direction and strength of 1,114 Italian and Australian nurses' perceptions about why care was missed in their hospitals. The MISSCARE survey was used to collect data and the specific section aimed at estimating the reasons for missed nursing care was used.
Background: Different tools have been developed and validated to measure unfinished nursing care. However, no systematic review of the psychometric properties has been performed describing the quality of the methods used to estimate their validity.
Aims: (a) To identify tools measuring unfinished nursing care that have undergone validation processes; (b) to evaluate critically the quality of the methods used in ascertaining their psychometric properties; and (c) to compare the estimated psychometric properties of these tools.
Background: Nurses are often responsible for the care of many patients at the same time and have to prioritise their daily nursing care activities. Prioritising the different assessed care needs and managing consequential conflicting expectations, challenges nurses' professional and moral values.
Objective: To explore and illustrate the key aspects of the ethical elements of the prioritisation of nursing care and its consequences for nurses.
